Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1062 - 632: Seven Immortality Diagrams, Motion and Stillness_2

"Listening to you, it seems that she also knows some special secret techniques, like those strange techniques from the southern wilderness?"

The two nodded. Zhang Yuqiu thought for a moment and said: "That Mr. Sui doesn’t seem young anymore, and his aura isn’t murderous; he’s not someone who enjoys killing. Moreover, the fact that she is willing to act for two ordinary people and a woman slightly related to him shows her good-hearted nature. Perhaps she’s a long-hidden ascetic monk, inadvertently dragged into this matter by Fu Zhuo and others... And it seems Yuwen Huaji is persistently pursuing her..."

The other woman added: "Moreover, she initially didn’t seem to care much about Shi Long, and was more concerned about that ordinary person. It was only later that she took Shi Long away using an eagle... as if she didn’t know the importance of the Longevity Formula."

Listening to this, Mr. Sui turns out to be quite a peculiar person.

Fan Qinghui pondered for a moment and said: "Shi Long probably has little chance of survival, but everything is full of surprises. Let’s temporarily keep an eye on their whereabouts... They will surely return to Yangzhou City."

As for the Longevity Formula, although Cihang Calming Studio has a need for it, it’s not their top priority.

"The most crucial thing right now is this dynasty is already in its last days... The signs of the Righteous Army have appeared in four regions, and chaos is coming... The upcoming assembly of the Classical Chinese Taoist Song in Yangzhou City unites the cultural flow from all over the world. It can determine the legitimacy of this cultural flow, and winning the support of scholars can help control half of the livelihood... a single culture represents one-third, this cannot be underestimated."

"The four great warlords might all be making a move..."

Zhang Yuqiu and the other person exchanged glances and asked together: "Should we send Senior Sister Feixuan?"

Shi Feixuan seems to be still immersed in her deep cultivation at Master Ning’s place. From the news over there, it seems she’s still at a critical stage, and it’s absolutely impossible to disturb her at this time.

Fan Qinghui also remained silent.

————————

Wan Ge never asked Sui Yi for his blood again, because it was not yet the right time, and Sui Yi ultimately didn’t manage to complete all seven illustrations.

However, Wan Ge was at a loss about her claim that it was hard to cultivate.

What Sui Yi meant was — she had completed the first four illustrations, but hadn’t finished the last three.

Note, she had completed them!

Completed! Which means thoroughly comprehended?

Wow, in this martial arts world that is several levels above the modern world’s pinnacle, she completed more than half of the most top-notch mystical secret manual in one day.

Couldn’t she complete it all in another two days?

"I don’t quite match with the last three illustrations."

"One of them involves the way of killing, the next concerns movement and stillness... Stillness is understandable, but movement doesn’t quite suit me."

Sui Yi is not a ’moving’ person, her personality is calm, her style is calm, everything about her is calm. She is never impulsive, even her anger in killing was handled in a composed manner.

She has never moved.

Hence, this movement does not suit her, making it impossible to comprehend.

She also dislikes killing, naturally making it hard to comprehend.

"Can’t we start with stillness?"

"Combining movement and stillness would be better, if separated... it would become chaotic."

"This Longevity Formula indeed has some drawbacks or traps..."

Sui Yi has high insight and recognized during her cultivation that the conditions needed for the Longevity Formula are certainly beyond what ordinary beings can endure. For example, the generation of Innate True Qi requires the cultivator to have exceptionally high talent in root bone, high perception, and most importantly, robust vitality to support the derivation of Innate True Qi, otherwise it will backfire, and the Longevity Formula will instead drain one’s vitality, eventually leading to vein disorders and death.

Moreover, the last three illustrations are quite peculiar; one involves killing and is essentially an understanding of the world’s natural cycle of reincarnation, failing to comprehend could lead to insanity.

The final two illustrations are about movement and stillness, which are the fundamental states of nature.

Movement and stillness can also be understood as hot and cold, life and death, yin and yang, etc., representing various contradictions.

A person is unlikely to possess both traits, implying that achieving full mastery of the Longevity Formula is exceedingly challenging.

However, Sui Yi does not insist on persisting.

Hell’s Wan Ge, seeing her attitude, said nothing more.

Exactly on the third day after Seo Ziling left, a pigeon carrying a message arrived,

Sui Yi looked at the letter and saw the handwriting was as vigorous as bone bamboo, suggesting it was from Seo Ziling.

"They said they found out two major happenings in Yangzhou City during recent days: first, all martial artists know that the Longevity Formula fell into my hands, something likely spread deliberately by Yuwen Huaji or You Juanniao. They have investigated the source, which comes from storytellers at Liuxiang Pavilion in Yangzhou City. The second is also related to Liuxiang Building, where the renowned talent Shong Xiufang arrived early, invited by worldwide scholars and Confucian family, to host the assembly of Classical Chinese Taoist Song held once every three years in the Jiangnan region. In recent days, Yangzhou City has not only seen a surge in martial artists but also many famous musicians and calligraphers from the Great Sui Dynasty have been invited."

Sui Yi then looked at another piece of letter paper.

"Both events are related to Liuxiang Building, plus recently in Yangzhou City, Du Fuwei and Yuchi Sheng have frequently come and gone at Liuxiang Building, which is unusual for their past behavior. It seems they went to meet someone, and whoever could cause two individuals who normally don’t get along to go for a meeting — this person should hold an authority above them in the official circle. Therefore, they suspect Yuwen Huaji is hiding inside Liuxiang Building, having sneaked in. Last night, they heard that five days ago, a distinguished guest booked a top-tier VIP room inside Liuxiang Building and even arranged for daily necessities like food and clothing to be sent in, seemingly used by a woman."

These two are bold and indeed have some abilities, managing to extract so much important information in just two days and analyzing it quite accurately.

Of course, their luck is also extremely favorable. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com for reading.)
